At an old manor house on a remote Scottish island, six managers of a large corporation arrive for a week-long stay. Within days they will all suffer horrifying deaths and their bodies will never be found. The government assigns the case to Department 18, the special unit created to investigate the supernatural and the paranormal. However this is no mere haunted house. The evil on this island goes back centuries, but its unholy plots and schemes are hardly things of the past. In fact, while the members of Department 18 race to unravel the island’s secrets, the forces of darkness are gathering…and preparing to attack.
Dorchester Publishing continues their run of outstanding horror titles with Black Cathedral by L.H. Maynard and M.P.N. Sims.
Wow, what a book. This is one truly frightening tale. Maynard & Sims hit this one out of the park.
From the very first chapter Maynard & Sims grab hold of you and don’t let go. They rivet up the tension and scares with an almost maniacal glee. They drag you deep into their nightmare world and leave you stranded there…alone.
Their vision of this haunted Scottish isle is terrifying and bleak. Their descriptive prose paints a desolate portrait of this uninviting place. You can feel the evil oozing from the pages. The pace never lets up, the frights are many and will keep you trembling until the very last page.
If supernatural horror and being scared to death is your thing you have no excuse for not buying this book.
Pete,
